Near the beginning of the 20th century the great Indian freedom fighter
and yogi-sage, Sri Aurobindo, began to express a truth which had not been
expressed before. In his high states of divine union he saw that the time
had come for a new stage in the evolution of mankind. He saw that the divine
was to manifest right here on Earth and that the time for this divine
emergence into Earth life was now. He spoke of heaven descending to Earth,
even as Earth experienced a breakdown due to the intrinsic resistance held
within her material body towards this "descent".

Sri Aurobindo was joined in Pondicherry, India, by a French mystic, Mirra
Alfassa, who later became known as the Mother. Together they embarked on a
journey of intensive cellular transformation that is very relevant to the
colossal uncertainties we face today.

Sri Aurobindo saw that the divine force permeates all matter, and that all
matter therefore has a force of consciousness. The process of the divine
spirit descending down into matter is called involution. The process by which
the divine ascends back upwards out of matter is called evolution. According
to Sri Aurobindo, humanity has reached a stage where these two events are
occurring simultaneously, and in his inner visions, he foresaw that we would
soon be experiencing a descent of what he called "supramental (or monadic)
consciousness" that would entirely change everything on Earth.

Man's greatness is not in what he is, says Sri Aurobindo, but in what he makes
possible. An immortal soul is somewhere within him, even if seldom active in
most people, while an eternal spirit overshadows him, even if obstructed from
descent by the hard lid of his constructed personality. There is a great
divine plan in motion, even if the evidence of the outer senses seems to
contradict it.

Sri Aurobindo recognized that humankind is going through an evolutionary
crisis. A stage has been reached in which the human mind has made tremendous
strides on the one hand, but is left hopelessly inadequate to prevent its own
extinction as a species. Meanwhile, as the Mother testified before her death
in 1973, a consciousness higher than the human rational mind, what may be
termed the Supermind, has recently been established in the fields of the
Earth, and is active there. Our task now is to bring it down into cellular
consciousness.

Evolution took a great leap forward with the origins of Life, and later with
the emergence of Mind. We are now at the threshold of another leap forward,
even more momentous, as we prepare for the emergence of the Supermind. Sri
Aurobindo speaks about four stages of human evolution, which we will soon be
starting to experience concurrently upon Earth. The first is "animal human",
our current species, a rational being possessing an individualized soul, but
largely obstructed from contacting and merging with it.

Next is the "human human", a species that is spontaneously coming to birth
under the influence of an ever-expanding supramental field, a being that is
largely able to merge and live from soul-consciousness rather than
mind-consciousness. Is the current generation of "Indigo Children" the first
representatives of this root race?

Thirdly is the "Overman", who will still inhabit a dense physical body, but
will be in possession of the Mind of Light, which is supramental consciousness
that has begun to merge with cellular consciousness. Are the "Violet" or
"Crystal Children" being born today the precursors of this root race?

Finally, our ultimate goal as a species, is the "Supramental Being", divinity
incarnated fully within the subtle realms of matter. This will be a race of
what we could call "Descended Masters". In this species, the unity of matter
and spirit would be fully realized upon Earth.

The great work of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother was in bringing supramental
consciousness down into the cellular consciousness of their own bodies. Since
this is a unified consciousness, this meant that the supramental consciousness
was simultaneously being brought into the consciousness fields of the Earth,
awaiting the moment when it would flower into its full manifestation in
collective matter.

Whenever there is a "descent" there is corresponding resistance. Sri Aurobindo
and the Mother speak of their experience with the four "Asuras", essentially
anti-divine forces, at work in the world today. There is the Asura of
Darkness, the Asura of Suffering, The Asura of Falsehood, and the Asura of
Death. These are the forces that are so outwardly apparent, and which seem to
be in control of current global events. Interestingly, they spoke of the Asura
of Falsehood "channeling" through Hitler during World War II, and of their own
intensive inner work in countering his influence. It would not be difficult to
see how this same Asura may be influencing other political leaders in the
post-911 era, notably those who are bent on creating the "New World Order".

With the descent of this new vibratory consciousness all our old obsolete
human structures will be demolished. However, Sri Aurobindo emphasized that
although the changes will be enormous they would not be necessarily
catastrophic. The power of Truth automatically erases Falsehood, and our world
for the most part consists of Falsehood. Yet, the Supramental, he maintained,
carried a power of harmonization which could overcome this resistance by means
other than dramatic struggle and violence. The Asuras will eventually be
absorbed into their original emanations of Light, Life, Beauty and Truth. It
may be interesting to speculate, with all the violence in the world today, the
destruction we might have experienced if not for this power of harmonization!

When does all this happen? Sri Aurobindo and the Mother believed that the
world stage was set for this quantum descent, and that it was quite imminent
now. The Mother said in 1968 that the supramental transformation was a
certainty now, and that it would come about with a minimum of destruction,
'although this minimum is still considerable'. She said that the year 2000
would be a turning point.

Sri Aurobindo, before his death in 1950, gave five indications that would
precede the dawning of the New Era. To summarize them briefly, the knowledge
of the physical world would increase exponentially, people would start
becoming more psychic, there would be a concerted effort from the dark forces
to maintain control, the world would move towards increasing unification
through technology, and finally, many would rise up such as Hitler with the
power to influence large numbers of people.

There are many more such indicators for a massive Shift, whether in ancient
calendar systems, geological records, mystic prophecies, or cosmological
research. When I confront the ecological and political realities of our modern
world, I realize that our 3rd dimensional problems cannot be solved through
3rd dimensional means. I find myself greatly comforted by spiritual
researchers like Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, whose visions and
understandings derived from a direct experience of a more expanded cosmic
paradigm.

We cannot remain in denial about the ecological and political realities on our
planet. However, the pathway to the Age of Light is in affirming the new
realities that are emerging among us. Somewhere between an ungrounded
spiritual escapism based on denial, and a narcissistic preoccupation with
gloom and doom, we can choose to intentionally and purposefully envision a
brave new world based on the deepest truth of our being. In order to do this
we must consciously face our own shadows, seek a genuine hope, commit to
rebirth, and open to the light of our guiding truth.

We can only go as high as we are willing to go deep, and it is often in the
very depths that we find the greatest light. This is where we find the power
and the hope to sustain us. For it is only as we are willing to see and to
embrace all of our deeply human fragmented realities that the light of grace
can shine upon us.

As we enter a new spiral of time, I feel that we will be seeing increasingly
rapid expansions of consciousness on our planet, accompanied by
correspondingly stronger resistance. As I connect with my deepest truth, I
know that we will make the Shift, although there could also be many who choose
to leave. The emerging consciousness may trigger the last dance of a polarized
worldview, but we will override the third-dimensional ecological and political
realities on our planet.

The "Great Purification," the Hopis say, will bring wars, hunger, disease, and
Earth changes. These have already begun. We have transmuted much, however, and
the transition is likely to be gentler than previously expected. This is a
time when we will experience a great transformation of Spirit. Vast numbers of
people will choose to awaken into their spiritual mastery, and merge with
their light bodies. Healing gifts will awaken. We will learn to walk between
worlds. As we move through these times, let us keep our eyes fixed beyond the
appearances to what is real. The pathway through the valley of fear is in
embracing a larger planetary and cosmic perspective. "Lead us from the unreal
to the real," said the ancient Hindu sages, "Lead us from darkness to light.
Lead us from death to immortality!"

The nature of most spiritual initiations is the experience of a gradual ascent
of consciousness followed by a quantum leap. It is like the phase shift that
takes place as water slowly heats up and suddenly becomes steam. When the time
is right, the Shift could take place "in the twinkling of an eye". This is
becoming extremely likely now as we align with the galactic center, and enter
the birth canal of a new Earth.

The realities portrayed by our news media are becoming increasingly fearful.
When rightly understood and attuned, however, these same events can be cause
for great celebration! I have spoken often about averting the earth changes
through our collective intentions and prayers. While I believe this
perspective has validity, we cannot pretend to understand what evolutionary
transformation must look like. There are certain cycles of death and rebirth
that serve our evolutionary growth, and this next cycle of evolution may be
accompanied by a massive dissolution and restructuring of our planetary
realities.

The easiest way to make the transition is to understand it from an
evolutionary perspective, so that we can choose to joyfully align with the
process, rather than resist in fear and contraction. With all the apparent
realities of terrorism, war, and tyranny in the world today, it is yet
possible to live with increasing fearlessness, joy, and excitement. My hope
for the world comes from a place deep within me that understands fear and
denial, yet no longer lives there. As long as we are in denial we are not
going to want to see either the darkness or the light, and I see that many of
us are on a journey of embracing our fears fully so that we can let go of the
illusions.

Once we understand the nature of illusion we realize that anything we perceive
as a "threat" from the outside, whether it is earth changes, terrorism,
political repression, or war, is ultimately about our own unowned shadows
being reflected back. Once that understanding comes, we can choose with the
enormous power of the newly emerging "world soul" to co-create a new unified
reality! Beyond any outer appearances, even beyond any cosmic or planetary
cycles, we are each responding to the Supramental Descent, the In-breath of
God, the return of all things back into Oneness.

The Maya say that the last four world ages ended in fire, wind, ice, and
water. The current world age will end in 'olin', which could be translated as
'the great shift'. It could refer to a magnetic pole shift, or a geographical
pole shift. It could be tectonic plate shifts. It could be a shift in
consciousness, or all of the above. It could even be a dimensional shift.
Whichever way we look at it, we stand at the threshold of a massive shift -- a
shift of the ages. Beyond this Age, ending in 2011 or 2012, nothing is known.
It is a blank slate and we hold the chalk in our hands.

Something very spectacular is happening on the Earth today. The Supramental
Transformation is imminent. Will the human race as a collective rise up
together into the supramental level? Is it only for those who choose it?
Either way, the Shift is imminent. It is up to us to choose how this
manifests.
